"This law is yet another discriminatory tool against those who are economically disadvantaged," she said."Women and children of wealthy families retain all the choices in the world, and face little risk."

Thurman, who has three children, said"choosing not to keep that early pregnancy allowed me to grow up and become the mother I wanted and needed to be".
